Best Knives of 2016

The Best 5 Knives of 2016 list is a mix of our internal data and our observations as knife purveyors. We took our top 5 knife categories, then broke it down into top-selling individual items. Some items were late-2016 releases, so we benched the numbers to view the knives as if they had been available all year. The result? The Best 5 Knives of 2016.
